Willing Workers' Meeting
* The Willing Workers were entertained at the home of Mrs. Charles
Rhodes last Thursday.
The meeting was called to order by
the president and opened by .all repeating the Lord's Prayer, after
which the club sang "America." Roll
call was responded to by Bible quotations. Mrs. Aaron Westfall gave an
instrumental solo.
The hostess served refreshments,
and the club adjourned to meet with
Mrs. S. Boyd in May.
FOURTEEN BOYS  ENLIST
IN THE GREAT ARMY OF FOOD
RAISERS.
Released from School te Assist in Augmenting the Nation's Supply.
The great army of food raisers received a delegation of fourteen from
the Saline high school Tuesday when,
by action of the board at. the request
of the superintendent, those from the
farms were released from school to
assist in raising more food to feed
the great mass of people who will be
needy before next spring. Students
leaving now will jreceive full credits
for school work this year. This action was taken, after thorough investigation showing that the university would accept credits-so granted.
A thorough system has been worked
out, consisting of a letter to the parents or guardian, this bringing a
written request for release of the student; a signed contract by each student going out, and a system of communication whereby each worker will
be kept in close contact with the
school and its .interests, and at the
same time give a thorough checking
system on the work-the students are
doing. •»
A few of the girls have requested a
release and have proven that they
ean make it worth while to grant the
same.   They will be allowed to go.
The schoool work is so developed
by this time that students ean, by a
little outside work, finish so as to
allow them to continue their work
next year without material hindrance.
The seniors leaving will receive diplomas in June.
The auction so far taken has not
gone beiow the ninth grade. Other
action may be taken if it thought advisable. The scarcity of help and the
urgent plea of president,- governor
and superintendent of public instruction to-make America yield crops as
never before were the deciding factors prompting the present action.
Education is far more than knowledge especially if such is gained
alone from books without proper application to real life. Education
must develop moral and vocational
responsibility without which mere
knowledge makes a one sided and
often a dangerous character. This
latter and bigger idea in education is
receiving its best test now in the
great crisis of our own country. Our
students are true to their high standards as always. „
Those who are not leaving at this
time are by no means "slackers," as
all of them are ready at the close of
school in June to handle their share
of the work. Their tasks, however,
are so arranged that the big call will
not come until their school is over.
All honor to young America for their
devotion to their own loved land!
Preshyterian Church News
Rev. W. H. Hoffman. Pastor.
A speaker from the Anti-Saloon
League will have charge of the morning service.
Evening subject: "The Strength
and Weakness of Samson."
Y. P. S. C. E. at 6 o'clock; subject,
"Missions in Latin America.'' Leader, Mrs. Alger Allison.
Prayer meeting Thursday evening
at 7:30; missionary topic, "Spanish
Americans and Siam."
The General Assembly meets at
Dallas, Texas, on May 17. An effort
will then be made to unite the northern and southern- Presbyterian
churches.
We should be personally interested
in the cantata our Sabbath school
will present on Children's Day.
The Syrian people in this country
forwarded to the war sufferers in
their home land, through our foreign
missionary board, ?1,750,988. This
was a work of mercy and not one
cent was lost by fraud, carelessness
or inaccuracy.
Every one should attend the missionary pageant the churches of Detroit are now to present to the public. Thorough and extensive preparations have been made and the varied
details of this spectacular display
will give complete information of
missionary operations in all parts of
the world.
Some one asked an old fisherman
how he knew that Christ had risen
from the dead. He replied: "Because
I see His light reflected from the
faces of some o'f my fellows every
day, and because I feel the light of
His glory in my own life." Such a
living witness to the abiding presence of Christ in our every day life,
gives a very gracious and satisfying
experience.
Use the Classified Column.
Whatever you have to sell, whether
it Js old furniture replaced by new, a
horse, or a harness advertise it in
The Observer's classified column.
These little advertisements do wonderfully quick work and are many
times cheaper than any other form of
selling. When he wanted to buy a
horse the up to date farmer does not
drive for days looking for the kind of
animal he wants. He depends upon
the liner column in his home paper
to put him in touch with as many
men who have horses' to sell. With a
minimum of expense he picks the
horse he wants and the deal is made
without any fuss or worry.   Try it.
HOLD PORMAL OPENING
Tuesday Evening, May 1, Saline Savings Bank Will Dedicate the
New Building.
The Saline Savings Bank uses their
advertising space this week to extend
a ^cordial invitation to the public in
general to attend the formal dedication of their handsonme new banking
house to the uses to which it "will be
devoted.
The officers and directors are to be
commended for taking one of our best
corners, which for years had been an
eye-sore to the community, and by
the liberal expenditure of time and
money transforming it into what all
concede to be one of the handsonmest
structures devoted to banking to be
found in the ^tate in a village the
size of Saline.
It is but fitting that all should
avail themselves oi the opportunity
thus provided to pay a social visit
to the building on the opening night,
Tuesday, May 1, where a hearty welcome will await you.

BIG SALE OF BLACK AND WHITES
William B. Hatch, proprietor of
Hatch herd of registered Holsteiri-
Friesiani cattle, of Ypsilanti, whose
auction advertisement occurs elsewhere in this issue, has been breeding a choice line of the Blacks anu
Whites foil the past ten years. He
says this is the best line of offerings
he has ever put into any sale and he
hopes they may be purchased and
further developed in southern Mich
igan.
Mr. Hatch was a member of the
American Commission representing
the state of Michigan which studied
co-operative agriculture in thirteen
European countries a year before the
war broke out. The studies took him
through Holland where this breed of
cattle has been practically the exclusive breed for a thousand years. He
has tried to follow the original type
in breeding "Hatch herd and not follow the fancies of faddists. This sale
promises to be largely attended.
As Mr. Hatch well puts it: "This
is the time to "beef scrub bulls and
cow 'boarders' and' substitute something profitable. The war demands
for food is certain to make dairy products in much greater demand."
